Chapter 636
Severin walked over to the platform. Then he nodded satisfactorily after taking a look at the rings. “Not bad. Every one of the rings here are worth more than a million dollars.”
Then his head jerked up all of a sudden when he saw the promotional poster in front of him. The poster showed a beautiful diamond ring with the words ‘One of a kind diamond ring. You won’t be able to find the same one anywhere in this world!’.
“Hey, this ring looks really nice!” Severin was immediately attracted by the diamond ring on the poster. Moreover, there was a really beautiful looking diamond necklace next to the ring. The diamond necklace was the kind that had a hundred little diamonds hanging off its chain, making it all the more attractive. “Gorgeous! Absolutely gorgeous! I’ve been looking for a necklace like this for the longest time. I’m sure it’ll look beautiful on my wife,” declared Severin with a smile.
However, he noticed there was no price on the poster. He frowned and asked, “How much are these diamond ring and diamond necklace?”
The manageress smiled awkwardly and said, “Mister Severin, I’m afraid they aren’t for sale. It’s simply too expensive so we have decided to keep it as one of our prized collections. You can’t find this diamond ring or diamond necklace anywhere else in the world so to have both of them in one set is quite rare. Sometimes, we would display them in the national jewelry exhibition.”
The smile faded from Severin’s face when he heard that. “How much is too expensive? I want to buy it!”
“To be honest, I don’t know because only our boss from the headquarters can put a price on it but my guess would be in the hundred of millions,” said the manageress who still had the same awkward smile in place.
“So be it! I still want to buy it!” said Severin resolutely. The fact that it was very rare made him want to buy it even more.
“Okay then. I’ll ask the shop owner to contact the headquarters,” said the manageress with a frown. She- had no choice but to make a call to the shop owner seeing as Severin was not going to budge.
After a while, a beautiful woman dressed in white suit came over to them. She looked at Severin and said, “Mister Severin, I’m the owner of this shop. I’ve already called the headquarters and our boss said that he’s willing to sell you the diamond ring and diamond necklace for three hundred million dollars. This diamond ring and diamond necklace had been a symbol of excellence in our shop for years and the craftsmanship that went into them could never be replicated an…”
Before she could even finish her sentence, Severin interrupted her. “Pah! 300,000,000 dollars is chump change! I’m going to buy it!”
The shop owner was stunned. This was three hundred million dollars they were talking about. She thought that Severin would back out of buying the diamond ring and diamond necklace the moment he found out the price. In fact, she was even prepared to recommend some other cheaper diamond ring for him.
However, she did not even have the chance to explain to him why the diamond ring and diamond necklace could fetch such a high price when he told them he was going to buy it.
“Are…are you sure about this? If you are then you would need to pay a deposit of 7,500,000 dollars and the headquarters would ship the diamond ring and diamond necklace to us and you should be able to pick them up tomorrow. But of course, we can arrange for special delivery to you too.”
The shop owner took a gulp and looked at Severin with an awed expression on her face. “Your wife must be the luckiest woman in the world, Mister Severin. By the way, from which family did she come from?”
She was supremely envious of Diane and could not help but wonder what it would feel like to wear such an expensive and gorgeous diamond ring and diamond necklace.
